Features: In the long history of our great Chinese nation, within the profound and enduring traditional culture of China, our ancestors have created a vast and profound cultural system that emphasizes self-cultivation for health—known as the Chinese Traditional Martial Arts Culture System. It encompasses nurturing the elderly and caring for the young, upholding faith and righteousness, practicing humility and courtesy, respecting teachers and following the way, cultivating oneself, enlightening wisdom, refining character, strengthening the body, self-defense, and prolonging life. All these aims to enhance the quality of human life, known as cultivating both life and spirit, refining both body and mind, and emphasizing the harmony of heaven and humanity with nature. The Chinese traditional culture system is vast, profound, and richly diverse, precisely what modern people yearn to obtain. Therefore, it is essential to fully inherit, develop, and promote the excellent traditional martial arts culture of our nation. This is the significance and purpose of the continuous publication of the Jiao Long Collection—Ancient Fist Scriptures Series and the Guo Shu Series, and it is also the direction and motivation for our ongoing efforts in the future.
